Those micron end cans weigh an absolute ton!!!

Post by will#224 »

I was looking at my bikes earlier and have a spare Micron end can, it must weigh about 6-7kg if not more???

Is it only the beet systems that are Ti or lightweight?

are we talking about a whole system or just the can? Whole system makes more sense about the weight but even then thats quite heavy. Unless you have a standard system where someone has stuck a micron sticker on it?

Yes Beet are lovely and light, i have a Titanium one on mine :smt003

I have just removed my MHP system and that suprised me how light it was too, The mircons are fairly weighty in comparison, especially the huge end cans and the massive girder that mounts it to the frame
